Oh my goodness it's heaven to be home again. We had a wonderful Christmas and a lovely three weeks spent in Australia with family, but the old saying holds true.... Yes Dorothy, there really is no place like home. I am however, currently coming up with plans to squish Australia and New Zealand together. I just can't quite get the tectonic plates to shift enough without major volcanic activity.

By the way, look what I bought - a box of birds! And they were only $5.50 - bargain!!!!!!!

They've escaped from their box and I keep finding them in the funniest of places. Last night we had friends over for dinner and they (the birds) scattered themselves across our picnic table, only darting for crumbs when we weren't looking.

We're well into summer with hot nights and imploring rain dances. It is such a beautiful summer but we are really needing to hide in the sweltering afternoons. Luckily I have some good books up my sleeve which I will write about soon.

Nothing like sitting outside in the evening with a cooling breeze and homemade candles.

And of course, playing our favourite game Quiddler. The whole family is obsessed with it - boys included and we are very fortunate that our neighbours don't mind playing the odd game or five with us too.

About Me

I am an Australian living in New Zealand with my husband Jonno and children Archie and Hugo on a harbourside dairy farm. My great aunt and uncle taught me to embroider when I was eight and I have been obsessed with fabric and thread ever since. I now crochet, knit, paint, sew, print fabric, embroider, write and all sorts of other things that raises seratonin. I am also lucky enough to design projects for Simply Crochet UK . Thanks for stopping by!
